Chronic Respiratory Disease Prevalence, Burden, and Treatment in Cape Town: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports
Background and Aims There is a high burden of respiratory symptoms in South Africa, but accurate classification of diagnoses is challenging. Due to the adverse risk profile, inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment should only be used in specific ...

Tuberculosis in Malta : a case for sputum induction [PDF]

, 2013
Sputum induction is a procedure used to help patients expectorate samples of sputum for laboratory analysis. It is a simple, safe and standardised procedure which may avoid the use of more invasive and potentially harmful interventions such as fibreoptic

Effects of Inhaled Brevetoxins in Allergic Airways: Toxin–Allergen Interactions and Pharmacologic Intervention [PDF]

, 2005
During a Florida red tide, brevetoxins produced by the dinoflagellate Karenia brevis become aerosolized and cause airway symptoms in humans, especially in those with pre-existing airway disease (e.g., asthma).

De Novo Gene Transcription of Connexin Mediates Cytoplasmic Fluid Exchange and Flocking Transitions in Physiological and Cancerous Epithelial Systems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
EGF‐induced de novo transcription of connexins Cx26 and Cx31 promotes flocking behavior that fluidizes epithelia and enables coordinated collective migration. Connexin‐driven cytoplasmic exchange mechanistically links growth‐factor signaling to invasive dynamics.

Combinatorial targeting of G‐protein‐coupled bile acid receptor 1 and cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 reveals a mechanistic role for bile acids and leukotrienes in drug‐induced liver injury

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
CHIN117 is a dual cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CYSLTR1) antagonist and G‐protein‐coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1) agonist. In the liver, GPBAR1 and CYSLTR1 are coexpressed by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), HSCs, circulating monocytes/macrophages, and liver resident macrophages (Kupffer cells).

Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists in the Treatment of Asthma: Implications for Eosinophilic Inflammation

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 1999
Recent advances in the treatment and management of asthma have suggested that leukotriene (LT) receptor antagonists may be very beneficial as a second generation therapy with steroid-sparing properties and negligible side effects. These agents have shown

Inhibitory effect of calotropis gigantea extract on ovalbumin-induced airway inflammation and arachidonic acid induced inflammation in a murine model of asthma [PDF]

, 2011
The root of Calotropis gigantea has been reported as a traditional folkloric medicine in treatment of asthma in the Indian literature. Root contain α-and β-amyrin are reported to possess anti-lipoxygenase activity.

Therapeutic Reprogramming of Glioblastoma Phenotypic States Using Multifunctional Heparin Nanoparticles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents heparin‐derived nanoparticles (HP‐NPs) as a novel precision medicine platform that combines therapeutic and delivery functions. HP‐NPs target drug‐resistant glioblastoma stem cells, reprogramming them into a drug‐sensitive phenotype and significantly reducing tumor progression.

Epigenetics and chromatin remodeling play a role in lung disease [PDF]

, 2011
Epigenetics is defined as heritable changes that affect gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is facilitated through different mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modifications and RNA ...
